Transformed! The Image of God. (Part 1)




"The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him. The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, of counsel, might and the fear of the Lord" - Isaiah 11:2

We as Christians have what Jesus has. We have power, we have wisdom, we have everything we ever needed. But we just need a bit of an update and/or an activation. Before you use an app, do the details for your account just pop up? No. You need to activate it, just as we need to here. Or we need to update. We can find out amazing truths about God, through His Word. If we need understanding, we just unlock or activate it and the Holy Spirit guides us into that particular scripture. 

Are there any other religions that lead to Heaven?
No. Jesus said so: "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6. The Father (God) lives in Heaven, so the only way to It is through Jesus only that we get to Heaven. 

Why are the other religions here? Why doesn't Jesus destroy them all? 
The Bible says that the world is corrupt, and the god of this world (Satan - 2 Corinthians 4:4) has blinded them so they may not see the truth and be saved from the evil clutches of sin. Proof texts: 
Romans 1:28 
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 
2 Corinthians 4:4 
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

I just want to point out a marvellous fact about our power in Christ. We are the light of the Gospel, and the image of God. Look at this: 
2 Corinthians 3:18 
And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

We need to keep our image in Christ, and not forget it. We must know that, whatever happens, will remain the glory of Christ. We are transformed into a new creation, fully-embodied with the power of Christ. This power was given to raise, restore and deliver but most importantly to SAVE.  

Seek
And
Value the lost souls on
Earth

We have power but we just need to activate it and understand what it is worth. If the whole world knew, there would be no room for Church.
What does the power of the Lord do?

Psalm 93:1
The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The LORD has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

We reign over the Earth! But we are tempted. The devil knows this to. He wants to get us into his loop holes and drag us out of this, spectacular power! We gain strength and learn how to maintain and use our power correctly by reading god’s Word, as the Spirit guides.

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...

Acting on God's Word....

"Do not merely listen to the Word and deceive yourselves. practice it and do what it says." - James 1:22 Today I wanted to talk to you about the Bible's power. Many atheists and other non-Christians believe that the Bible is not true, but THEY haven't meditated on the Word that they heard from Church, study etc. Let's take a look at what Jesus said: " They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   49  But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.'" Any questions? OK. But HOW do I 'practice and do' what God's Word says?  You make sure that whatever it says, has effect on your life. What I mean to say is, make sur...

Pondering the Bible: How to deal with anger

"Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires." James 1:20 NLT http://bible.com/116/jas.1.20.nlt Let’s admit it, we all deal with anger sometimes. But some more than most. When we do get angry, we get this overwhelming sense of bitterness and malice that is sometimes uncontrollable. This brings us to today’s question: How do you deal with anger?  Well, satan will always keep on trying to do things to make you angry. And as soon as you give in and never let it go, you have failed and satan can hold you back.  Here’s how to deal with it:  The Bible says that when you are angry you should not let it carry over to the next morning.  "And "don’t sin by letting anger control you." Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry," Ephesians 4:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/eph.4.26.nlt This means you may only be angry for some time. But I wouldn’t for long:  "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be...
